Tracking and Evaluation Core

DACCOTA-跟踪和评估核心 摘要：与跟踪、评估和评价各种活动有关的努力 DACCOTA的项目将通过跟踪和评估核心进行。这 中心将是一个独立的实体，但将协调质量和过程改进 通过与行政核心密切合作进行规划。这一独立评价代表了 DACCOTA将利用参与的专业知识和资源的独特方式 大学和机构。这一核心的目标是审查和记录 DACCOTA在以下方面：1）在研究的各个阶段促进翻译研究 2）创造一个可持续的、高效的、具有成本效益的和高度反应的环境， 转化研究，以及3）吸引不同的研究者社区来利用这些 资源，并成为尖端转化研究的领导者。这个核心的分析将 通知PI和行政委员会（包括所有核心董事，内部咨询委员会， 委员会（IAC）和外部咨询委员会（EAC）的优先事项 改进和实施倡议。DACCOTA成功的明确指标将 用于衡量我们的合作机构、项目、个人的绩效， 社区.成功将根据1）促进跨学科团队科学来衡量 专注于临床癌症研究; 2）实施提高效率的流程， 全方位转化研究的范围、质量和安全性; 3）有效和高效 项目管理和实施所需的变更;以及4）制定有效的 临床研究人员谁将在他们的培训，研究计划和职业道路蓬勃发展。 将通过一项定制的评价，认真监测实现这些目标的进展情况 由该核心设计和管理的计划。

DACCOTA-Tracking and Evaluation Core Summary: Efforts related to tracking, assessment, and evaluation of the various activities and programs of the DACCOTA will be conducted through the Tracking and Evaluation Core. This center will be an independent entity but will coordinate the Quality and Process Improvement Program by working closely with the Administrative Core. This independent evaluation represents a unique way in which the DACCOTA will leverage the expertise and resources of participating universities and institutions. The objective of this core is to examine and document the impact of the DACCOTA on the following: 1) promoting translational research across all phases of the research process, 2) creating a sustainable, efficient, cost-effective, and highly responsive environment for translational research, and 3) engaging diverse investigator communities to leverage these resources and emerge as a leader in cutting-edge translational research. This core’s analysis will inform the PI and administrative committees (including all core directors, the Internal Advisory Committee (IAC), and the External Advisory Committee (EAC)) on priorities for process improvement and initiatives to be implemented. Clear metrics of the success of the DACCOTA will be used to gauge performance across our partner institutions, programs, individuals, and communities. Success will be measured based on 1) promotion of interdisciplinary team science focused on clinical cancer research; 2) implementation of processes that enhance efficiency, outreach, quality, and safety in the full spectrum of translational research; 3) effective and efficient program management and implementation of changes as needed; and 4) development of effective clinical researchers who will thrive throughout their training, research initiatives, and career paths. Progress toward achieving these goals will be carefully monitored through a customized evaluation plan designed and administered by this core.
